FAZER LOGINMeanwhile, Ella was in the office working on some writing.A colleague called. “Ella, can you help me contact a cameraman? Mine had something come up and can’t make it to the interview site.”“Sure, I’ll find one I’ve worked with before,” Ella replied.“Thanks! I knew asking you would be helpful. This interview is important—I’m worried about messing it up.”“What interview?” Ella asked.“There’s a wedding for someone called Piper Hart. They invited me to cover it—said there’s big news. I came specially to see what’s going on.”Ella frowned. A wedding, big news? Could it be about Piper announcing her parentage at the ceremony?She asked her colleague, “Did you see the family there?”She described the parents and brothers roughly.“Yes. They’re guests of honor on the bride’s side.
Fuming, Nora stormed into the makeup room next door.Piper, already made up and dressed in an elegant gown, walked over.Nora hurried up, grabbing her hand. “Piper, it’s me and your dad who go on stage, right?”“No. My biological parents promised to come, so you don’t need to go on stage,” Piper said calmly.Nora felt like a thunderclap had struck. “Piper, I raised you from childhood, fed and clothed you, taught you to be a proper young lady, picked a prestigious husband for you, and married you into wealth. Even if I don’t have credit for everything, I’ve certainly earned the hardship!”“I appreciate you,” Piper said gently, “but you’re not my biological parents. I’ll pay for Mathew’s tuition, but beyond that, I can’t help.”“Piper!” Nora shouted, “I’ve poured everything I have into you! You
After receiving the invitation, Ella devoted herself fully to preparing for the competition.Kiana, upon hearing the news, said, “Then give me all the interviews you currently have. After the competition, I can give them back to you.”“You’re the best, Kiana!” Ella said. “I’ll give them to you then.”“Let’s have lunch first. I’m starving.”“Sure, it’s on me.”As Ella and Kiana headed out, Kiana couldn’t stop asking excited questions about the competition.Ella didn’t have all the details yet, but promised she’d explain everything afterward.As they chatted, a car sped past them.Kiana wasn’t paying attention and stumbled to the ground.“Ella!” Ella quickly helped her up and saw a bruise forming on her leg. “Come on, let’s go get some medicine.”She looked up and saw the ca
Ms. Darla was thrown out and left at the hotel entrance.She was furious but dared not make a sound. Losing her balance, she fell to the ground.A young woman helped her up.“Are you okay?” Piper asked kindly. She had seen Ms. Darla leave the hotel lobby and offered assistance.“I’m fine, thank you,” Ms. Darla said.Piper continued, “Do you know Ella? I need to speak with her. Could you help me let her know I’m looking for her?”The Hart family was in chaos after bankruptcy. Their company was in disarray, and if no solution was found soon, even their mansion could be seized.The Miller family’s stance was ambiguous—they hadn’t committed to helping.Piper had no choice but to seek Ella herself.However, no matter how many times she called, Ella hung up as soon as she heard Piper’s voice.Desperate, she had to try in person.“I don&
Christine looked at Ellen and said, “But with your…status, should I call you by your name directly, or…Auntie?”“What do you mean?” Ellen asked.Christine feigned innocence, “Well, Uncle Dexter has been widowed for so many years—it’s about time he finds someone new. You may be young, and who knows what it is that attracted you to him, but since you came along with him, I suppose I should show you some respect.”Her words carried a hint of mockery, and those nearby couldn’t help but glance at Ellen with curiosity.So Ellen’s identity was like that?Everyone had been guessing which wealthy family she came from, as she appeared confident and generous, completely unfamiliar to them. Christine’s remark made it click: could it be that Ellen was connected to Dexter?The young men and women present, all from prominent families, masked their surprise but inwardly felt a t
Inside the banquet hall, Dexter’s presence surprised many.It had been years since anyone had seen him, and guests eagerly came forward to greet him.He looked vibrant, using only a walking cane instead of a wheelchair, exuding health and composure.Jada smiled. “Dexter, your complexion is better than mine!”“I recovered long ago. You just came out of a serious illness, of course I can’t compare. But in a few days, you’ll be full of life again, and even then, I won’t match you,” Dexter chuckled.“We’re so happy you could come. It’s been ages since we last met,” Jada said warmly.Christine ran over. “Uncle Dexter! Long time no see!”Dexter nodded politely.After a brief social chat, Christine grew bored talking to the elderly and wandered off.She happened to see Ms. Darla sulking back.“Ms. Darla, what happened?” Christine asked.“Don’t ask. Ella had me thrown out. I was thinking about how you hadn’t had a
The garden behind the club was expansive.After walking a few hundred meters, they reached a quiet pond.Staff brought over fishing rods and bait.Tiesto picked one up. “I’ll show you how to bait the hook.”Ella leaned closer—And shrieked when she saw the wriggling worms.Orlando immediately frown
Christine burst through the office door.The senior executives in the middle of a meeting with Milo were startled.Recognizing the famously temperamental young miss, they kept their expressions neutral—though displeasure flickered in their eyes.“Let’s adjourn,” Milo said calmly.Once everyone had
Jennifer carefully carried the outfit over with both hands.Ella took it and examined it closely.The fabric was a sheer, gauzy material, customized with the designer’s signature craftsmanship and intricate embroidery.Fixing it without leaving a trace would be extremely difficult.Still, Ella felt
Christine felt heartbroken, hopeless—her dignity ground into the dirt.She had poured her heart out to Tiesto, yet never earned even a second glance from him.And now, barely married, he was already so intimate with another woman!“Tiesto!” Christine called out in a coquettish tone as she walked to
